What Compensation Can You Recover?
Following a personal injury in Houston, you may be entitled to recover various types of damages, including:
- Medical Expenses: All costs associated with your treatment, including emergency care, hospital stays, surgeries, doctor visits, physical therapy, medication, and future medical needs.
- Lost Wages: Compensation for income lost due to time off work for recovery.
- Loss of Earning Capacity: If your injuries permanently reduce your ability to work or earn at your previous level.
- Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, mental anguish, and discomfort caused by your injuries.
- Property Damage: Costs to repair or replace damaged personal property.
- Disfigurement and Impairment: For permanent scarring, disfigurement, or physical limitations.

- Punitive Damages: In rare cases of extreme negligence or malice, additional damages may be awarded to punish the at-fault party and deter similar conduct.
Key Texas Personal Injury Laws for 2025
Understanding these fundamental Texas laws is vital for your personal injury claim:
- Statute of Limitations: In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. There are minimal exceptions, and missing this deadline almost certainly forfeits your right to compensation. For wrongful death claims, the two-year clock begins on the date of death. Be aware: Claims against government entities (city, county, state) often have much shorter notice periods (e.g., sometimes as little as 90 days) before the lawsuit deadline.
- Modified Comparative Negligence (Proportionate Responsibility): Texas follows a “51% bar” rule. This means you can recover damages even if you are partially at fault for the accident, as long as your fault is not greater than 50%. You are barred from recovering any compensation if you are found 51% or more at fault. If you are, for example, 20% at fault, your total compensation will be reduced by 20%.
- Damages Caps: While there are no caps on economic (e.g., medical bills, lost wages) or non-economic (e.g., pain and suffering) damages in most general personal injury cases, Texas does have caps on certain types of damages in specific scenarios, such as medical malpractice cases.
